Artist based on the prairies of North Dakota
Art is the only thing I have ever really wanted to do. Being an artist has been my dream from the very beginning. I have never wanted to get rich from my artwork. Instead, I want to be able to make enough to be able to give it away. I believe art brings people together. It heals, it brightens the world. Case Art isn't just another art store, it is my way of helping others through art.
Created in 2002, Black Butterfly is all sorts of texture. I layered on lots of oil paint then used the end of my paint brush to draw in the butterfly. I made several of these in 2002. This is the only one that is left. Several sold, one burnt up in fire. I can't even remember what inspired me to create these. I do remember that they were fun to make.
Black Butterfly is 24 x 22 inches, oil on stretched canvas.
No matter where life takes me, I vow to never stop using my art to help others. The talents we are given are meant to be cultivated and to be used to improve the lives of our fellow humans. It is a greater gift to give of these talents than it is to use them simply for personal gain.
